BABYMONSTER World Tour: CHOOM (Hong Kong): Dates, Tickets & Venue (Hong Kong)

A Saturday Night at the Edge of the Runway

This show takes place on Saturday, January 9, 2027. BABYMONSTER, the seven-member girl group from YG Entertainment, bring their CHOOM world tour to AsiaWorld-Arena. The arena is the largest hall inside AsiaWorld-Expo, the convention complex on Chek Lap Kok, the island that also holds Hong Kong’s airport.

The tour name is itself a hint. Choom (춤) is the Korean word for dance, and choreography is the group’s calling card. They broke out in 2023 and 2024 with tracks such as “Batter Up” and “Sheesh”. Expect an arena show built around big formation dance breaks rather than an acoustic evening.

Inside AsiaWorld-Arena

The arena is a single huge rectangular hall. It has a flat floor and raised seating blocks on the sides, with no upper balconies stacked overhead. That layout shapes your night.

• Floor tickets are usually standing zones on the flat floor. Sightlines depend on height and position, so many fans pick a spot near a zone barrier.
• Side seats sit on raked blocks. They give a clear view of the whole formation, which suits a dance-focused group.
• The concourse runs around the hall’s outer edge. This is where merchandise, toilets and food stalls cluster.

The hall was built for trade fairs, not opera. Sound is loud and physical rather than delicate, and the room goes properly dark once the house lights drop.

The Airport Express to the End of the Line

This is the quirk of the venue: you take an airport train to a concert. The MTR Airport Express runs from Hong Kong Station in Central through Kowloon, Tsing Yi and Airport stations. On event days, trains continue one stop further to AsiaWorld-Expo station.

That last stop sits directly beside the halls. You leave the platform and you’re already at the complex. The ride from Central takes roughly half an hour, and seats face forward with luggage racks, so it feels more like a short intercity train than a metro.

The cheaper route is the Tung Chung Line to Tung Chung station, then a bus or taxi across to the airport island. Taxis from Tung Chung are quick. Lantau taxis are the blue ones, and the green urban taxis also run out to the airport.

Where the Tickets Live

Tickets for K-pop arena shows in Hong Kong are sold through the concert promoter’s official ticketing platform. BABYMONSTER’s official YG channels point fans to the authorised seller for each tour stop. Seating plans, zone names and entry rules come from that seller, not from AsiaWorld-Expo itself.

Resale is where fans most often get burned. Screenshots of QR codes, transfers through social media and “spare” tickets sold outside the venue are the usual scams at Hong Kong arena shows. Fans who pay through the official platform’s own resale or transfer system avoid the problem.

Lightsticks, Freebies and the Octopus Card

A few local habits make the night smoother.

• Pay with an Octopus card. It covers the MTR, buses, convenience stores and most food stalls. Contactless bank cards also work at MTR gates, and Alipay HK and WeChat Pay are common at kiosks.
• Bring the official lightstick if you have one. BABYMONSTER fans, called MONSTIEZ, use the group’s official lightstick. At many K-pop shows these sync to the stage lighting, which only works with the genuine article.
• Expect freebies outside. Fans often hand out photocards, stickers and small fan-made gifts near the entrances. Accepting politely is normal, and many people bring a few items of their own to swap.
• Stand right on escalators. Hong Kong keeps the left side clear for walkers, and with a crowd leaving an arena, this rule is strictly kept.

Cantonese is the local language, but English signage covers the whole MTR and the expo halls. Staff at the arena gates usually switch to English without fuss.

Making a Day of Lantau

The concert is far from the city’s hotel districts, so many visitors spend the day out west. Tung Chung is one MTR stop from the airport island and has the most to do nearby.

• Ngong Ping 360, the cable car from Tung Chung up to the Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery. Allow half a day for it.
• Citygate Outlets, the mall right above Tung Chung station, for lunch, shopping and a warm place to sit.
• Tai O, the stilt-house fishing village on Lantau’s west coast, reached by bus from Tung Chung.

January is Hong Kong’s cool, dry season. The days are mild, but evenings by the water on Chek Lap Kok can turn chilly once you leave the arena in concert clothes, so a light layer helps.

After the Encore

Getting home is where an airport venue shows its catch. Thousands of people head for one station at the same moment. Queues for the Airport Express back toward the city usually stretch along the concourse after big shows, and the taxi rank fills just as fast.

That is why so many fans stay close by. Hong Kong SkyCity Marriott sits beside AsiaWorld-Expo, and the airport hotels and Tung Chung are only minutes away. Fans heading back to Kowloon or the Island usually budget extra time for the walk to the platform, rather than racing for the first train.
